Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 3, 2022, SVF Investment Corp. 3 (the “Company” or “SVF”) convened an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) held in connection with the Company’s previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 12, 2021, with Warehouse Technologies LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company (“Warehouse”), Symbotic Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Warehouse (“Symbotic Holdings” and, together with Warehouse and its other subsidiaries, “Symbotic”), and Saturn Acquisition (DE) Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of SVF, a copy of which was filed with the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SVF on December 13, 2021 (as it may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each proposal voted on at the Special Meeting is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2022 and mailed to shareholders commencing on May 9, 2022 (the “proxy statement/prospectus”).

As of the close of business on April 25, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, there was an aggregate of 33,040,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and 8,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B ordinary shares” and together with the Class A ordinary shares, the “ordinary shares”), outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting with respect to any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. A total of 25,535,827 ordinary shares, representing approximately 62.22% of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote, were present virtually or by proxy, constituting a quorum.

The voting results for the proposals voted on at the Special Meeting are set forth below.

DISCLAIMER

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, SVF’s and Symbotic’s expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates” or “intends” or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in SVF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 23, 2022 (the “Annual Report”), SVF’s post-effective amendment no. 1 to the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-262529) (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which was declared effective by the SEC on May 31, 2022, and SVF’s final proxy statement and prospectus filed with the SEC on June 1, 2022 (the “Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and SVF and Symbotic believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and neither SVF nor Symbotic is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the reports, which SVF has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in SVF’s Annual Report, in the Registration Statement, in the Final Proxy Statement/Prospectus and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement; delay in closing the Business Combination; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transaction; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transaction; business disruption following the transaction; risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of SVF and Symbotic; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or the termination of any of certain subscription agreements entered into by SVF with certain parties in connection with the Merger


Agreement; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on Symbotic’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; the ability to meet NASDAQ listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and other charges related to the transaction; the ability of SVF to issue equity securities in connection with the transaction; and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms.

Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond SVF’s and Symbotic’s control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, SVF and Symbotic believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that SVF and Symbotic, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events.

Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in SVF and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in SVF. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning SVF and Symbotic, the proposed transaction or other matters and attributable to SVF and Symbotic or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above.
